Answer: 529.9 Hz
Explanation:
Here we need to use the Doppler equation, so we have:
f' = f*(v + v0)/(v - vs)
Here, f is the frequency = 500Hz
v is the velocity of the wave, = 334m/s
v0 is the velocity of the observer = 20m/s
vs is the velocity of the source = 0m/s
Then we have:
f' = 500Hz*(334m/s + 20m/s)/(334m/s) = 529.9 Hz
Using the equation for period length, you get an answer of about 4.1 seconds.
Here if we assume that there is no air friction on both balls then we can say

now the acceleration is given as


so here both the balls will have same acceleration irrespective of size and mass
so we can say that to find out the time of fall of ball we can use


now from above equation we can say that time taken to hit the ground will be same for both balls and it is irrespective of its mass and size
Answer:
b) R/4 (There seems to an error in mentioning the multiple choices of this question, please see below explanation of correct calculations for this question.)
Explanation:
dimension of the conductor before melting is l, r
reistivity is p
R=(p*l)/(pie*r2)
after reforming length is reduced to L=l/4
volume in both the cases will be same
i.e. pie * r^2 * l =pie * R^2 * L
r^2 * l = R^2 * (1/2)l
due to this radius will become R=sqrt(2) * r
now new reistance is given by Rx=(p * L)/(pie * R^2)
i.e. Rx=(p * l/2)/(pie * r^2 * 2)
after simplification RX=((p * l)/(pie * r^2))/4
i.e. Rx=R/4
